Description Erik Indresovde 2018-04-11 14:11:54 UTC
Installed ppp-2.4.7-21.fc28 after having this problem:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1564459

This solved original issue, but now SELinux is blocking the connection. Setting SELinux to permissive gets rid of the error and connection can be established.

SEAlert is not giving any notification, but I found the following in ausearch:

I made some attempts of adding a local policy, but unable to make it work. Any suggestions on how to add a workaround?
